Don’t Miss the Huge Second Amendment Rally in Boise!Sponsored by the Idaho Second Amendment Alliance

Monday, January 13, 2014 from 10:30 AM until 2:00 PM

The plan is for rally participants to meet at the Boise Center on the Grove near the water fountain and to march from there to the Capitol building. Those who wish to take part in the march should be at the water fountain by 10:30 AM, and the march will begin promptly at 10:50 AM. (Those who do not wish to march should plan to arrive at the Capitol steps prior to 11:00 AM.)

Once the marchers reach the Capitol steps there will be a few guest speakers who will each make some brief remarks. All Idaho legislators have been invited to meet with rally participants on the Capitol steps at this time. The legislators will be presented with proposed legislation for expanding and defending our Second Amendment freedoms.

After the activities on the Capitol steps conclude, rally participants are encouraged to walk the halls of the Capitol and to speak with any and all legislators they meet about these critical Second Amendment issues. Rally participants are also encouraged to make appointments to meet with their legislators personally.

Remember that this is an election year and that all 105 members of the Idaho legislature will face primary elections in May and the general election in November. The election is when legislators receive their ‘performance reviews’ from We the People! Those who refuse to defend our Second Amendment rights and who—either openly or covertly—work to subvert our efforts must be given a ‘performance review’ commensurate with their performance as a legislator.
